Botox not affected by Detox, and No reversal agent for Botox
Botox injections have no none reversal agent, if that is what you are asking about. One good thing (though most consider it bad) about Botox is if you are unhappy with results or have an unwanted side effect, the effect will resolve with time.

Detox is a lay expression and has not specific meaning.
Dear Marietta
In order to provide a meaningful answer to this questions, one needs to know what you me by "detoxification."

If you are talking about ridding yourself of a chemical dependence, again this should not be a problems.

The timing of my response to your question is ironic - today I injected Botox and Juvederm into a lady who is being admitted for detox tomorrow. Her results will not be compromised while cleansing her body.

Detox treatments after Botox injections
There is no problem undergoing chemical dependency treatment or any other type of treatment including homeopathic treatments to detox your body. Botox is very localized and only acts directly on the muscles that were injected. There are no other specific interactions to be concerned with. I hope this information helps.
